I purchased on a trip to Hawaii in the mid 90s. Vintage double strand freshwater rice pearl necklace - pearls are distinctive due to their elongated, crinkly, and irregular shapes which resemble grains of rice. They are a classic variety of freshwater baroque pearls, highly valued for their unique organic textures and brilliant iridescent luster. This double strand style offers a classic layered or draped aesthetic. Approximate measurements: 5 inches diameter if styled in a circle 16 1/2 inches laying down straight end to end
